The Tradition of the Paschal Egg
There is a beautiful tradition within the life of the Church for believers to have as their last meal before beginning the Great Lenten Fast, to eat a hard boiled egg, white in color. This egg represents our sinful nature, and we eat this egg with the hope that the Lenten journey will bring us to repentance, and make us worthy to receive the Risen Lord Jesus Christ.
The great and holy myrrh-bearer Mary Magdalene, equal of the apostles, during a dinner with the emperor Tiberius Caesar, was speaking about Christ’s resurrection. Caesar scoffed at her, saying that a man could rise from the dead no more than the egg in her hand could turn red. Immediately, the egg turned red. This is believed to be an explanation for dyeing eggs red at Pascha.
At the end of Matins, during the Paschal service, the priest hands out a red egg, symbolizing the blood of Christ, to each worshiper. At the beginning of the Paschal feast, following the Midnight Liturgy, believers break the Lenten Fast by again eating an egg.
As we hit our red eggs together, while saying, “Christ is Risen”, we are symbolically proclaiming the truth that Christ, by his death and holy resurrection, broke the bonds and power of death. The breaking of the eggs represents the opening of the tomb, and the crashing of the doors of hell, with Christ destroying the power of darkness and death, forever.
With love in Christ,
Abbot Tryphon

All religions lead God - Pope Bergolio
The Pontiff of Rome recently said that all religions each has its own way to God. We all believe in the same true God and such blasphemy...
Some good info below

Pope: "All Religions Lead to God" - Vindicated Again!
Pope Francis once again dropped a bomb demonstrating and proving everything I said about natural theology and its consequences to Trent Horn and about a thousand other Roman Catholics the last decade.

Funny this is an argument stated on our website.
Everyone wishes to link their faith or point towards Christ in one way or another..
Christ is The Way and The Truth indeed

Certain important deviations, good to know
Monarchianism is an early Christian heresy that emerged in the 2nd and 3rd centuries AD and sought to uphold the oneness of God (the “monarchy” of the Father) at the expense of the distinct persons of the Trinity.
Pelagianism. The essence of the Pelagian heresy lies in its denial of original sin and the belief that humans are born with a neutral nature, capable of achieving salvation through their own efforts without the need for divine grace. According to Pelagius, human beings have the ability to live morally and achieve righteousness on their own, without relying on God's grace for salvation.

Ex Muslim, Islam debunking Atheist, turns to Christ and becomes an Orthodox Christian.
He still lacks a lot of education on the topic and may even be a zionist... May this trip set him on the correct way

The Islamic dilemma.
A very good starting point when discussing with Muhammadans or when you find yourself having to defend your faith against this specific heresy.
God bless

Intercession of the Saints
(These are important verses when talking to Protestants and all their offspring churches)
(Revelation of John 5:7-8)
[7] And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne.
[8] And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints.

(Revelation of John 8:2-4)
[2] And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets.
[3] And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne.
[4] And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel’s hand.

This point is covered on our website already.
Found this video of a person who also discovered the same and discerned himself out of darkness.
All religions point to Christ.
In order to have some relevance, everyone includes references to Christ and or claim direct links to His Word..
Yet, we know that there's only 1 Truth, 1 Way and 1 Life.
That is Christ Jesus.
